Dear Ms Harrop,

Compliance with conditions on planning permission number NP/DDD/0504/0584. Haddon Grove Farm, Haddon Grove, Over Haddon, Bakewell, DE45 1JF.

Thank you for your letter dated 3 October 2005. I confirm that the applicant intends to carry out the proposed landscape scheme this coming winter.

Re: Change of use of agricultural land for siting of additional touring caravans and seasonal use for camping at Haddon Grove Farm, Over Haddon. Planning application NP/DDD/0504/0584

Thank you for submitting the requested management regime for the above site. I can confirm these details are adequate and condition number 11 can now be discharged.

The landscaping scheme (Condition 13) is also considered adequate. Please could you confirm the date the proposed planting is due to be completed? Once this has been completed this condition may also be discharged.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries or wish to discuss any of the above.

Yours sincerely

Copy sent to Mr Honey Dear Ms Harrop,

Compliance with conditions on planning permission number NP/DDD/0504/0584. Haddon Grove Farm, Haddon Grove, Over Haddon, Bakewell, DE45 1JF.

Further to my previous letter dated 7th September 2005 I now enclose a suggested management regime for the site as required by condition no. 11 on the planning permission for the Authority’s consideration. In addition, I also enclose 4 copies of a detailed landscape scheme for the site as required by Condition no. 13 on the permission.

The landscape condition refers to the south and south west of the site but the approved drawing shows the proposed landscaping in the west and existing gap in the landscaping is in the west and north-west. The enclosed landscape scheme therefore shows landscaping in the north-west and west of the site.

I have discussed the contents of the management regime with both Mr Keeley from your office and Mr Parkinson from Derbyshire Dales District Council and although there was no clear guidance as to the contents or form of the document the enclosed agreement reflects their comments and also the requirements of the planning permission and the Site Licence.

I trust that the documents are satisfactory but if you wish to discuss any item please contact Ken Wainman at this office.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Gower. MANAGEMENT REGIME AGREEMENT.

Relevant Structure Plan policies include: GS1, C2, C5, C7, C14, RT1, RT3, RT4, Y1, T8.

Appeals to the Secretary of State

- If you are aggrieved by the decision of your local planning authority to refuse permission for the proposed development or to grant it subject to conditions, then you can appeal to the Secretary of State for the Environment under Section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

- If you want to appeal, then you must do so within 6 months of the date of this notice, using a form which you can get from the Planning Inspectorate at Customer Support Unit, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN, telephone No. 0117 372 8000 or www.planning-inspectorate.gov.uk.

- The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal, but he will not normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal.

- The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to him that the local planning authority could not have granted planning permission for the proposed development or could not have granted it without the conditions they imposed, having regard to the statutory requirements, to the provisions of any development order and to any directions given under a development order.

- In practice, the Secretary of State does not refuse to consider appeals solely because the local planning authority based its decision on a direction given by him.

Purchase Notices

- If either the local planning authority or the Secretary of State for the Environment refuses permission to develop land or grants it subject to conditions, the owner may claim that he can neither put the land to a reasonably beneficial use in its existing state nor render the land capable of a reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of any development which has been or would be permitted.

- In these circumstances, the owner may serve a purchase notice on the Council (District Council, London Borough Council or Common Council of the City of London) or, where the land is situated in a National Park, the National Park Authority for that Park in whose area the land is situated. This notice will require the Council or Authority to purchase his interest in the land in accordance with the provisions of Part VI of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Dear Mr Finney

Change of use of agricultural land for siting of additional touring caravans and seasonal use for camping at Haddon Grove Farm Over Haddon Planning application NP/DDD/0504/0584

We have recently received complaints about overcrowding at the above camping and caravanning site. I understand that the District Council, who have also received complaints, are involved with the overcrowding issues and will be following this matter separately. We will monitor the site in summer and Bank Holidays 2007 to ensure conditions 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 attached to the approval notice are being complied with.

Whilst this was brought to our attention, the issues of landscaping and management of the site was also raised. I would, therefore, like to arrange a site meeting at the property in order to inspect the landscaping and tree planting, which were carried out in the winter of 2005/06. I will also need to inspect that the management regime, submitted in September 2005, is also being complied with.

I would therefore be obliged if you could contact me to arrange a visit sometime in the week beginning 4th September.

Yours sincerely

Sandra Harrop Monitoring and Enforcement Officer Development Control

M:\\Shared\\DevCon2006\\Finney - P1861/30/08/06 11:48/SH Haddon Grove Farm - 10 July 2006

Received a call from Mike Parkinson at DDDC to say that he had received a complaint over the weekend about overcrowding on this site. He wanted to know what were the current numbers permitted on site through the planning permission, as he was aware that I had been dealing with a LDC application for the site. I said that the LDC had been withdrawn on lack of evidence and a planning application submitted to regularise the use of the site, as far as I understood. I would check the file and get back to him tomorrow now.

11 July 2006

Tel'd Mike Parkinson back (01629761226) having looked at the file. I said that PP had been granted for an increase in numbers on the site, and I gave him details. However, there were a number of pre-conditions on the consent which did not appear to have been complied with and therefore technically the consent had not been implemented and any increase in numbers than that already holding planning permission, would be viewed as unauthorised. The knock on effect of this is that a site licence should not be issued for the increased numbers under the 2004 consent until the pre-conditions had been complied with and the increase in numbers would be lawful.

I said that I would need to pass our file down to the enforcement team for monitoring of the pre-conditions with them, but in the meantime I will send him a copy of the consent, the plan and management regime agreed under the conditions on the 2004 consent.

Mike Parkinson is to chase the owners up about their licence + the complaint. He is aware that consent is likely to not have been implemented + licence should not be issued as yet. Dear Mr Thompson,

Compliance with conditions on planning permission number NP/DDD/0504/0584. Haddon Grove Farm, Haddon Grove, Over Haddon, Bakewell, DE45 1JF.

Condition No. 3 on the planning permission restricts use of the site to the period between Easter and 30th October in any one year. The applicant’s current site licence for 19 caravans and five static caravans allows the site to be used from the 1st March to the end of October (please see attached copy). Given that there is often several weeks between 1st March and Easter my client – Mr Finney - would wish to have the condition amended to the same time period specified in the site licence.

Ken Wainman from this office has spoken to John Keeley about this and he suggested that I write to you seeking your comments and advice as to the best way forward.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Gower. CARAVAN SITES AND CONTROL OF DEVELOPMENT ACT, 1960 Section 3

Proposed Extension of Caravan and Camping Site - Haddon Grove Farm off B5055, Over Haddon

Thank you for the above application, the copy of which was received at this office on 15 December 2004.

As discussed with your Planning Officer, Mr J Keeley, on 4 December 2003, the above proposals are considered likely to result in an increase in vehicle movements to and from the application site and along the length of unclassified highway linking the site access to the B5055.

In order to help mitigate this increase, it is recommended that improvements be carried out to the junction between the unclassified road and the B5055 in terms of the visibility splays and bellmouth junction radii. It is also recommended that a passing place be provided part way along the length of unclassified road between the B5055 and the site access by modifying the existing field accesses.

Prior to works commencing, the design and specification of these highway works must be agreed with the National Park Authority and the County Highway Authority, the submitted scheme to be approved in writing. The approved works would have to be carried out prior to the expanded campsite being taken into use.

A note should be appended to any consent advising the applicant that no works can take place within highway limits until a formal agreement under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 has been entered into between the applicant and the County Council. Advice regarding the technical, legal, financial and administrative requirements of these agreements may be obtained from the Director of Environmental Services at County Hall, Matlock (telephone 01629 580000 and ask for the Area Development Manager, North Western, Mr G Hill).

Prior to the extended campsites being taken into use, the existing access point onto the public highway shall also be redefined in terms of the carriageway edge and access width in order to ensure that vehicle turning movements to and from the access can be carried out as safely as possible.

A note should also be appended to any consent advising the applicant that the site is affected by public rights of way (footpath numbers 11 and 12, Over Haddon on the Derbyshire Definitive Map). These pedestrian routes must remain unobstructed and on their legal alignment at all times and the safety of pedestrians using them must not be prejudiced either during or after development works take place.

Yours sincerely

Graham Hill Area Development Manager - North Western 10. FULL APPLICATION – CHANGE OF USE OF AGRICULTURAL LAND FOR SITING OF ADDITIONAL TOURING CARAVANS AND SEASONAL USE FOR CAMPING, HADDON GROVE FARM, OVER HADDON (NP/DDD/0504/0584, P.1861, 417673/366152/JK)

Introduction

Haddon Grove Farm lies in the open countryside to the south of the B5055 approximately midway between the villages of Monyash and Over Haddon. Access to the farm is off a sharp bend in the minor road which leads down to the farm from the B5055 before turning sharply eastward to lead to Over Haddon. The caravan/camping site lies to the south/west of the farm buildings and is surrounded by a mixture of mature and semi-mature trees/hedges. Two public footpaths pass through the farm, one of which leads down into the nearby Lathkill Dale Nature Reserve which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. In the corner of the southern overspill camping site there is a ‘cairn’ feature which although not formally protected is of some archaeological interest and is fenced off from the site.

Key Issues

This item was deferred at the January meeting to enable Members to visit the site to assess the landscape impact of the increased scale of camping and caravanning and the effect of increased visitor numbers upon local amenity and the National Nature Reserve.

Planning History

(Agricultural proposals omitted for clarity)

1968 – Approval for use of two sites for five touring and five seasonal caravans. Conditions restricted use to seasonal occupation, length of stay, positioning of seasonal vans and the removal of permitted development rights.

1969 – Refusal for increase in number of caravans to 10 permanent and 20 touring vans together with the erection of permanent toilets. Lack of tree screening was given as the main reason.

1971 – Refusal on landscape intrusion grounds for increase in numbers of permanent caravans from 5 to 17 and touring vans from 5 to 25.

1977 – Environmental Health Officer visit records 15 caravans and ‘many’ tents on site.

1978 – 5 day caravan rally proposed – PDNPA advise site is not ideal and an alternative site represented for future valley.

1978 – Refusal for increase in number of touring caravans from 5 to 35 with up to 90 on Bank holidays. Reasons were, landscape intrusion, adverse effect upon adjacent National Nature Reserve and highway grounds.

1980 – Appeal against the 1978 refusal dismissed on essentially landscape grounds.

1980 – Proposed 10-day rally advised to need planning permission which would be unacceptable on landscape grounds.

1990 – Environmental Health Officer records 20 touring cans and 4 static when visits to follow up a complaint.

1993 – Environmental Health Officer records 13 touring and 7 static vans and tents. 1995 – Approval for increase on number of touring caravans by 14 to make 19 in total. This application was approved because tree planting carried out after the appeal had grown sufficiently to give screening when in leaf. Previous traffic objection to such a modest increase were not able to be sustainable. The proposal was also necessary to help farm diversification. It was noted at this time shower and toilets had been provided within the buildings for visitors.

1997 – Complaint about over crowding and inadequate toilet permission.

1999 – Application for a certificate of lawfulness for an existing use of the site for a maximum of 70 tents. Held in abeyance to enable applicant time to collect evidence but withdrawn in 2003.

2003 – Informal advice sought from Highways Authority on likely highway improvements necessary for any application to expand site.

2003 – District Council Environmental Health Officer press owner to obtain caravan and camping licenses.

2003 – Applicant withdraws application for Certificate of Lawful use and announces intention to pursue a planning application to regularise caravan and camping use.

2004 – Informal advice to agent that landscaping is acceptable providing good screening for any increase use for caravans in main site. Some concern over openness of south end of site. The issue of the sites proximity to the NNR may still be a problem. Planning application invited.

The Proposal

Change of use of land for the siting of 15 additional touring caravans to give a total of 34 touring vans. In addition permission is sought for the seasonal use of the site for camping on the basis of up to 30 tents on weekdays, 50 tents on weekends and up to 70 on Bank Holiday weekends. Plans accompanying the application show the additional 15 vans and the 50 'normal' weekend tent patches sited within the main central camping/caravanning field. Camping overspill areas are shown to the west and south of this field to accommodate Bank Holidays tents. Additional tree planting is proposed on the east boundary of the south overspill area.

Highways Authority – Proposal will increase vehicle movements and recommend conditions to secure improvement to the B5055 junction including a passing place on the lane down from the B5055 together with protection of the public footpaths.

District Council – recommended approval.

Parish Council – support.

Environment Agency – no objection.

Ranger Service – no objection subject to protection of footpaths.

One letter of objection has been received from the adjacent farm raising the following points:

01. Poor access from main road.

02. Noise from campers, particularly at weekends and bank holidays spoils their residential amenity.

03. Litter thrown over the fence into the nature reserve.

04. Damage and disturbance to wildlife, fences and livestock.

05. Questions site area, layout, sanitation, waste removal.

06. Point out that whilst trees screen from some views they do not screen from the south and south west.

07. Tree screening does not filter out the noise.

08. Increase is disproportionate to the area and infrastructure available.

09. Current level of use has a detrimental impact on the SSSI

10. Have real concerns for the natural environment and the peace and quiet of the area

Comment

The farm business at this site diversified into caravan and camping in 1968 with the small number of static and touring vans. In 1980 the then Board was successful in resisting an increase in caravans on landscape grounds. Since then the applicant planted a significant number of trees which now provide effective screening of the site and enabled approval in 1995 of the additional 14 caravans. Following the lawful development certificate application it is now clear that since 1980 the site has exceeded its permitted number of caravans on many occasions and has operated as a camping site for many years. This planning application is made because the applicant did not have sufficient records to substantiate his claim for a lawful development certificate and has had to follow this route to formally regularise the use.

The Authority's policy on expansion of caravan and camping sites states that within this particular area of the Park, the development or improvement of sites will normally be permitted if they are small sites that are well screened and close to existing farmsteads (RT4). Local Plan policy expands upon that stating that a small extension to an existing site will not be permitted unless its scale, location, access, landscape setting and impact upon neighbouring uses are acceptable, and it does not dominate it surroundings.

Haddon Grove is a modest site that is essential to the diversification of this small farms income. The main caravan and camping field is well screened and has little or no visual impact upon its surroundings. The overspill camping area to the south of the site is however less well screened and would benefit from the additional tree planting proposed in this application. Plans show the increased number of vans are able to be accommodated in a satisfactory layout around the edge of the main caravan field. Tents would mainly be accommodated in the central area which would contain up to 50 to cope with normal weekday and weekend demand. On bank holiday weekends the number of tents would increase to 70 with the additional 20 tents being accommodated on overspill areas. The first of these lies to the west of the main site and could accommodate about 10 tents. It is clearly visible from a short section of the public footpath passing down the west side of the site but is reasonably well screened in the wider landscape. The remaining overspill area to the south would accommodate the remaining 10 but is the least well screened. This area should therefore only be used when the other area is full until the proposed new landscaping is effective. It is considered that the applicants suggested tree/hedge planting in this area is extended along the south and south west sides of the field boundary.

The scale of the site accords with recreation and tourism policies as it is considered to be of an appropriate size for its location within the Recreation Zone within which it sits. This takes into account the location close to the main road network and its importance in meeting the demand in the area around Bakewell. In terms of access the approach road down from the B5055 is narrow and the emerging visibility at the lane/B5055 junction is below standard. The applicant has however met a representative from the Highway Authority along with the planning officer prior to the submission of this application and agreed informally the extent of visibility improvements to the junction along the need for a passing place down the lane. Officers are satisfied that these works can be carried out without harm to the valued character of the roads in question and would overcome the local objection. The site is located next to a farmstead which sits on the limestone plateau above Lathkill dale. Although the plateau is open grazing land divided by walls into small fields the farmsteads scattered across it tend to be located close to shelter belts of copse of trees. Haddon Grove is no different and is well screened by existing mature trees and the relatively recent semi mature tree planting. The Authority’s Landscape Architect confirms that the main site is well screened and that the overspill area to the south should be used last. It is therefore considered that the increased use of the site would be acceptable and would not be unduly visible or dominating within its landscape setting.

In respect of the impact on neighbouring uses the main issue is one of noise from the site upon the neighbouring property and the associated effects upon the dale from the increased activity. The objector lives nearby at a similarly named Haddon Grove Farm which lies some 350m to the east of the site. This is the closest residential property, the next nearest being another ‘Haddon Grove Farm’ up on the main B5055 to the north. His complaint is that noise travels across the two fields to his property easily, exacerbated by the prevailing winds to harm his amenity. A complaint like this is difficult to verify at this time of year outside the main season. The site has however operated for some years at a very similar level of use and therefore checks have been made of both the District and Authority records relating to noise complaints. These show a remarkably small complaint history with no history of continuing complaint from the objector. The Environmental Health Officer reports that one complaint was made last year (2004) and that in response standard letters were sent out to both parties seeking further information and asking for action to reduce any problem. No response was received and so the complaint was not followed up further. The Authority’s records for the last 10 years show that only one anonymous complaint was received from a resident of Over Haddon village and this was to the 1995 application to increase the vans by 14. Although a temporary permission would normally be considered to maintain a degree of control and enable the impact to be formally monitored, in this case, the use is in operation and appears to have generated little complaint. In these circumstances a condition requiring submission and agreement of a management regime for the site would be a more appropriate alternative.

In respect of the impact upon the Dale, English Nature confirm that the upper area of the Dale side next to the caravan site is open access land in their ownership. Consequently access should not be a problem and if there are issues of people climbing fences as a short cut to gain access to the Dale footpath then they will look at the use/relocation of styles. The remainder of the Dale is fenced and covered by the SSSI. According to the local English Nature officer there is no evidence to suggest that the increased use of the footpath from caravan visitors or from the activities at the caravan site are having an adverse effect upon the special interest of the Dale or its wildlife.

A number of the objectors other points relate to the management of the site and its operation on a day to day basis. Most of these are matters that would be covered by the Districts Caravan and Camping site licenses that the applicant is under pressure from the Council to obtain as soon as practical following the grant of any planning permission. Clearly when the site has the benefit of both a valid planning permission and the necessary site licenses there will be a firm basis on which to enforce standards and conditions. This can only be to the benefit of the neighbours and visitors to the area in improving current standards and keeping potential complaints to the current very low level.

Subject to conditions covering numbers, area of use, additional tree planting, highway improvements and management it is considered that this retrospective application accords with both conservation and Tourism policy and can be supported. Human Rights

Any human rights issues have been considered and addressed in the preparation of this report.

Introduction

Haddon Grove Farm lies in the open countryside to the south of the B5055 approximately midway between the villages of Monyash and Over Haddon. Access to the farm is off a sharp bend in the minor road which leads down to the farm from the B5055 before turning sharply eastward to lead to Over Haddon. The caravan/camping site lies to the south/west of the farm buildings and is surrounded by a mixture of mature and semi-mature trees/hedges. Two public footpaths pass through the farm, one of which leads down into the nearby Lathkill Dale Nature Reserve which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. In the corner of the southern overspill camping site there is a ‘cairn’ feature which although not formally protected is of some archaeological interest and is fenced off from the site.

In addition permission is sought for the seasonal use of the site for camping on the basis of up to 30 tents on weekdays, 50 tents on weekends and up to 70 on Bank Holiday weekends. Plans accompanying the application show the additional 15 vans and the 50 ‘normal’ weekend tent patches sited within the main central camping/ caravanning field. Camping overspill areas are shown to the west and south of this field to accommodate Bank Holidays tents. Additional tree planting is proposed on the east boundary of the south overspill area.

Comment

The farm business at this site diversified into caravan and camping in 1968 with the small number of static and touring vans. In 1980 the then Board was successful in resisting an increase in caravans on landscape grounds. Since then the applicant planted a significant number of trees which now provide effective screening of the site and enabled approval in 1995 of the additional 14 caravans. Following the lawful development certificate application it is now clear that since 1980 the site has exceeded its permitted number of caravans on many occasions and has operated as a camping site for many years. This planning application is made because the applicant did not have sufficient records to substantiate his claim for a lawful development certificate and has had to follow this route to formally regularise the use.

The Authority's policy on expansion of caravan and camping sites states that within this particular area of the Park, the development or improvement of sites will normally be permitted if they are small sites that are well screened and close to existing farmsteads (RT4). Local Plan policy expands upon that stating that a small extension to an existing site will not be permitted unless its scale, location, access, landscape setting and impact upon neighbouring uses are acceptable, and it does not dominate it surroundings.

Haddon Grove is a modest site that is essential to the diversification of this small farms income. The main caravan and camping field is well screened and has little or no visual impact upon its surroundings. The overspill camping area to the south of the site is however less well screened and would benefit from the additional tree planting proposed in this application. Plans show the increased number of vans are able to be accommodated in a satisfactory layout around the edge of the main caravan field. Tents would mainly be accommodated in the central area which would contain up to 50 to cope with normal weekday and weekend demand. On bank holiday weekends the number of tents would increase to 70 with the additional 20 tents being accommodated on overspill areas. The first of these lies to the west of the main site and could accommodate about 10 tents. It is clearly visible from a short section of the public footpath passing down the west side of the site but is reasonably well screened in the wider landscape. The remaining overspill area to the south would accommodate the remaining 10 but is the least well screened. This area should therefore only be used when the other area is full until the proposed new landscaping is effective. It is considered that the applicants suggested tree/hedge planting in this area is extended along the south and south west sides of the field boundary.

The scale of the site accords with recreation and tourism policies as it is considered to be of an appropriate size for its location within the Recreation Zone within which it sits. This takes into account the location close to the main road network and its importance in meeting the demand in the area around Bakewell. In terms of access the approach road down from the B5055 is narrow and the emerging visibility at the lane/B5055 junction is below standard. The applicant has however met a representative from the Highway Authority along with the planning officer prior to the submission of this application and agreed informally the extent of visibility improvements to the junction along the need for a passing place down the lane. Officers are satisfied that these works can be carried out without harm to the valued character of the roads in question and would overcome the local objection. The site is located next to a farmstead which sits on the limestone plateau above Lathkill dale. Although the plateau is open grazing land divided by walls into small fields the farmsteads scattered across it tend to be located close to shelter belts of copses of trees. Haddon Grove is no different and is well screened by existing mature trees and the relatively recent semi mature tree planting. The Authority's Landscape Architect confirms that the main site is well screened and that the overspill area to the south should be used last. It is therefore considered that the increased use of the site would be acceptable and would not be unduly visible or dominating within its landscape setting.

In respect of the impact on neighbouring uses the main issue is one of noise from the site upon the neighbouring property and the associated effects upon the dale from the increased activity. The objector lives nearby at a similarly named Haddon Grove Farm which lies some 350m to the east of the site. This is the closest residential property, the next nearest being another 'Haddon Grove Farm' up on the main B5055 to the north. His complaint is that noise travels across the two fields to his property easily, exacerbated by the prevailing winds to harm his amenity. A complaint like this is difficult to verify at this time of year outside the main season. The site has however operated for some years at a very similar level of use and therefore checks have been made of both the District and Authority records relating to noise complaints. These show a remarkably small complaint history with no history of continuing complaint from the objector. The Environmental Health Officer reports that one complaint was made last year (2004) and that in response standard letters were sent out to both parties seeking further information and asking for action to reduce any problem. No response was received and so the complaint was not followed up further. The Authority's records for the last 10 years show that only one anonymous complaint was received from a resident of Over Haddon village and this was to the 1995 application to increase the vans by 14. Although a temporary permission would normally be considered to maintain a degree of control and enable the impact to be formally monitored, in this case, the use is in operation and appears to have generated little complaint. In these circumstances a condition requiring submission and agreement of a management regime for the site would be a more appropriate alternative.

In respect of the impact upon the Dale, English Nature confirm that the upper area of the Dale side next to the caravan site is open access land in their ownership. Consequently access should not be a problem and if there are issues of people climbing fences as a short cut to gain access to the Dale footpath then they will look at the use/relocation of styles. The remainder of the Dale is fenced and covered by the SSSI. According to the local English Nature officer there is no evidence to suggest that the increased use of the footpath from caravan visitors or from the activities at the caravan site are having an adverse effect upon the special interest of the Dale or its wildlife.

A number of the objectors other points relate to the management of the site and its operation on a day to day basis. Most of these are matters that would be covered by the Districts Caravan and Camping site licenses that the applicant is under pressure from the Council to obtain as soon as practical following the grant of any planning permission. Clearly when the site has the benefit of both a valid planning permission and the necessary site licenses there will be a firm basis on which to enforce standards and conditions. This can only be to the benefit of the neighbours and visitors to the area in improving current standards and keeping potential complaints to the current very low level.

Subject to conditions covering numbers, area of use, additional tree planting, highway improvements and management it is considered that this retrospective application accords with both conservation and Tourism policy and can be supported.

Any human rights issues have been considered and addressed in the preparation of this report. RECOMMENDATION:

That the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions;

1. Submission and agreement of management regime for the site.

Haddon Grove Campsite

With reference to your phone call of 17 December, I can confirm that English Nature do not have any objection to the development proposals at Haddon Grove in that they will not have any direct impact on the nature conservation interest of Lathkill Dale Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The question of access from the campsite to the National Nature Reserve is our only concern, but we feel that this is best addressed in direct contact with Mr Finney.

Yours sincerely

Ben Le Bas Site Manager Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve The proposed main site is well screened. However, the site should not be open during the winter months as the screening off this site will go when leaves fall.

It needs to be made clear which areas will be open and when.

I am concerned about the proposed screening belt and its possible implication on the adjacent caravan. Need to check archaeologists.

Additional water points will need to be provided. They are too far and remote for most campsite pitches especially in main camping sites.

Camping overspill field next to caravan should be cut out used.

Size of toilets & shower units may not be enough for the number of people expected at least 140 - 200 people over bank holiday.

Summary of advice:

No objection subject to query over usage of fields & bank hole. Dear Mr Keeley,

Re: Planning Application NP/DDD/0504/0584 – Change of Use of Agricultural Land for siting of Additional Touring Caravans and Seasonal Use for Camping at Haddon Grove Farm, Haddon Grove, Over Haddon

Further to the application which was registered on the 20 May 2004, we had some feedback from the Environment Agency on the 1 September and we have not heard anything further since that time. We have again written to the Planning Liaison Officer and attach a copy of that letter herewith. We would be grateful if you could use your good offices to make some progress on this application which is now ageing rapidly.

Kind regards.

Yours sincerely,

Please note that this letter SUPERSEDES the letter of 12 August. This is as a result of further discussions with colleagues at the Agency regarding the proposed use of a septic tank.

The Agency wish to OBJECT to the proposed use of a septic tank. The site is located on a major aquifer and the River Lathkill, a special area for conservation (SAC), is located approximately 300 metres to the south of the site.

A septic tank may not be an acceptable method for the disposal of foul sewage due to the potential impact on the SAC. The applicant should be asked to complete an assessment in line with DOE Circular 3/99

To discuss the above please contact the Environment Officer, Stuart King, on 01773 520 512.

Proposed Extension of Caravan and Camping Site - Haddon Grove Farm off B5055, Over Haddon

Thank you for the above application, the copy of which was received at this office on 15 December 2004.

As discussed with your Planning Officer, Mr J Keeley, on 4 December 2003, the above proposals are considered likely to result in an increase in vehicle movements to and from the application site and along the length of unclassified highway linking the site access to the B5055.

In order to help mitigate this increase, it is recommended that improvements be carried out to the junction between the unclassified road and the B5055 in terms of the visibility splays and bellmouth junction radii. It is also recommended that a passing place be provided part way along the length of unclassified road between the B5055 and the site access by modifying the existing field accesses.

Prior to works commencing, the design and specification of these highway works must be agreed with the National Park Authority and the County Highway Authority, the submitted scheme to be approved in writing. The approved works would have to be carried out prior to the expanded campsite being taken into use.

A note should be appended to any consent advising the applicant that no works can take place within highway limits until a formal agreement under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 has been entered into between the applicant and the County Council. Advice regarding the technical, legal, financial and administrative requirements of these agreements may be obtained from the Director of Environmental Services at County Hall, Matlock (telephone 01629 580000 and ask for the Area Development Manager, North Western, Mr G Hill).

Prior to the extended campsites being taken into use, the existing access point onto the public highway shall also be redefined in terms of the carriageway edge and access width in order to ensure that vehicle turning movements to and from the access can be carried out as safely as possible.

A note should also be appended to any consent advising the applicant that the site is affected by public rights of way (footpath numbers 11 and 12, Over Haddon on the Derbyshire Definitive Map). These pedestrian routes must remain unobstructed and on their legal alignment at all times and the safety of pedestrians using them must not be prejudiced either during or after development works take place.

Yours sincerely

Re: Planning Application NP/DDD/0504/0584 – Change of Use of Agricultural Land for siting of Additional Touring Caravans and Seasonal Use for Camping at Haddon Grove Farm, Haddon Grove, Over Haddon

Further to my letter of 13 October 2004, I have spoken with Kate Proctor at the Environment Agency. It appears that the letter she wrote to you dated 13 September 2004 was never copied to this office and I have just received it by e-mail. Accordingly, I have written to Mr Finney seeking answers to the questions posed and will revert to the agency with the answers as soon as they arrive.

In the meantime, presumably, you are unable to make further progress with the application.

CHANGE OF USE OF AGRICULTURAL LAND FOR SITING OF ADDITIONAL TOURING CARAVANS AND SEASONAL USE FOR CAMPING HADDON GROVE FARM, HADDON GROVE, OVER HADDON

Thank you for referring the above application which was received on 21 June.

Reference to the 1:50,000 scale geological map Sheet 111 (Buxton) indicates that the site is located on Carboniferous Limestone which is designated a ‘Major Aquifer’ under the Agency’s ‘Policy and Practice for the Protection of Groundwater’. The River Lathkill is located approximately 300 metres to the south of the site.

We have no objections to the application for the extension to this camp-site. However the applicant should be made aware that suitable arrangements for the disposal of foul drainage must be made. A new Discharge Consent (or an increase to any existing Discharge Consent) may be required and the applicant should contact Alan Roe of the Agency’s Regulatory (Water Quality) Team to discuss this issue further.

In view of the above comments we recommend that the following conditions be attached to any planning permission that may be applied for.

Condition: No development approved by this permission shall be commenced until a scheme for the provision and implementation of foul drainage works has been approved and implemented to the reasonable satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: To prevent pollution of the water environment. Yours faithfully,

Working together to care for a living landscape for everyone Dear Sir

Planning application NP/DDD/0504/584 Change of use to increase the use of touring caravans from 19 to 34, also seasonal use for camping,

I object to this application on the following grounds.

1. Access.
2. Impact on the local area:- a) Noise b) Litter c) Damage and disturbance to wildlife habitat and grazing stock. d) Site infrastructure, tree screening

At its current level of use this site causes problems and disturbance to its surrounding neighbours of; noise, litter, trespass and damage to both wildlife and grazing stock.

Any increase in the level of use will only compile these problems further.

Even more worrying, is that the applicant, in the past has not complied with his existing planning permissions i.e. 19 caravans.

If this application is allowed I would hope that the planning authority would ensure that the planning permission is not flouted quite so obviously.

1. Access

This is by a narrow single track road with no passing places, and a junction to the B5055 that has poor visibility. Also the entrance to the farm and caravan site is on a blind right angle bend with poor visibility due to over hanging trees. 2) Impact on the local area

a) Noise

Living only 2 fields away and due to the prevailing winds and geography of the land, noise carries very easily in our direction. At the current levels of utilisation this can be deafening. At the weekends and Bank Holidays, the noise can be anything from normal campsite roundness to loud music, swearing, car alarms and on occasions fireworks and rockets; and has been know to last until the early hours of the morning.

b) Litter

I constantly find litter thrown over the fence in the nature reserve this can range from bottles and cans to human feaces needles and syringes.

c) Damage and disturbance to wildlife and grazing stock

This site borders the Lathkill Dale Nature Reserve an SSSI and an area of outstanding beauty.

Currently I am working with English Nature’s warden for Lathkill Dale to try and minimise the problems of damage to both my stock and boundary fences and the disturbance to the wildlife caused by campers from next door’s site.

At its current level of use the impact on the Dale, has, over the years, seen the habitat of both bird and plant life reduce due to; noise, trespass from the site, the lighting of campfires and the chopping down of trees. They have all had a detrimental impact on the attractiveness of this wonderful SSSI.

d) Site infrastructure and tree screening

At present the whole area of the application, along with field 236 and part of field 5700, are used for the purpose of camping and caravanning. Will these fields now be no longer used for camping, and with the decrease of land available will there be enough left available for the increased numbers asked for in the application?

I am advised by Derbyshire fire and rescue that a minimum of 6 metres/pitch is the recommended norm,

Sanitation - will there be enough toilets/shower points, and sewerage disposal; not as at present carted away by farm tanker to be spread where?

Waste and rubbish - currently a lot of this seems to be burnt during the hours of darkness, I trust that a condition of the planning would be to put a stop to this.

Tree screening - whilst the mature trees around the site do offer some screening during the time when they are in leaf, they do not shield the site when viewing the area from the south and southwest where the site is very visible when walking the Calling Low/One Ash footpath, and from Arbour Low.

The density of screening does not, and will not reduce the level of noise from the site, now, or in the future.

I recognize the need for a small farm to diversify as this one has already done with the campsite and its small horse livery/riding lessons. However, an increase in caravans and tents, of the number suggested would be disproportionate with the area and infrastructure available and would have a detrimental impact on the area.

I have very real concerns for the natural environment and for the future of this wonderful area of the Peak District. The peace and quiet of the area is at stake and the success of this application would be in direct contradiction of the environmental restrictions already in existence. If the case comes before the Planning Committee, I would welcome the opportunity to address the members.

Yours faithfully

CHANGE OF USE OF LAND TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TOURING CARAVANS FROM 19 TO 34; ALSO SEASONAL USE FOR CAMPING, 30 TENTS ON WEEKDAYS, 50 TENTS ON NORMAL WEEKENDS, AND 70 TENTS ON BANK HOLIDAY WEEKENDS

1. This is a small farm unit where caravans and tents have formed the main source of income for some 40 years. In 1968, consent was granted for 5 static caravans and 5 touring caravans. An attempt was made to increase the number of caravans, unsuccessfully, and this was refused, on appeal, by an Inspector in February 1980. One of the main reasons for the refusal was that there was little screening by trees of the site. Over the last 20 years the trees have grown extremely well, matured and have thickened and certainly provide very substantial screening for the site.

2. An application was subsequently made to increase touring caravan numbers in 1995 to 19, and that was successful.

3. It became clear that tents and camping was very popular on this site, and that a planning consent is required. An application was made for a Certificate of Lawfulness for both caravans and tents. Eventually, this was withdrawn because the information provided was not sufficiently detailed. It is admitted that, in the earlier years, our client's record keeping was not always complete.

4. Discussions have also been held with the County Surveyor and it is felt that, with a few small highway verge works, there should be no highway objections.

5. A further point raised concerned the SSSI and Nature Reserve in Lathkill Dale. We understand that there have been no complaints from that quarter and we do not consider that the concentration of caravans and tents in this well screened should cause any conflict with the Dale. Part of the proposal is to increase screening at the Dale end of the adjoining overspill field.

6. Finally, it must be stressed that the continuation and development of this site is essential to the provision of a diversified farm income. PROPOSED EXTENSION TO CARAVAN AND CAMPING SITE AT HADDON GROVE FARM BANNEWELL, DERBYSHIRE FOR MR D FINNEY

It was reported that English Nature had no objections. A motion for a site visit to assess the impact on the landscape was moved, seconded and carried.

RESOLVED:

That consideration of the application be DEFERRED pending a site visit to assess the impact on the landscape. Dear Mr King

CHANGE OF USE OF AGRICULTURAL LAND FOR SITING OF ADDITIONAL TOURING CARAVANS AND SEASONAL USE FOR CAMPING HADDON GROVE FARM, HADDON GROVE, OVER HADDON

Further to our recent telephone conversation, please find below some calculations based on current water usage. We should re-emphasise that the application is essentially to cover and give legality to the existing number of campers with a few extra caravans only. Also, the water use figures are based on the summer period, i.e. from Easter to the end of October when the caravanners and campers are permitted to stay at the farm.

Meter readings for the 7 months from April 5th 2004 until November 9th 2004 are 1179 cubic meters. Taking 6/7ths of this figure gives a summer use of 1010 cubic meters or 1,010,000 litres.

From this must be deducted a household usage for four persons at 150 litres each per day for 180 days, giving 108,000 litres. Also 3 horses and 5 ponies each using say 80 litres per day for 180 days gives 115,566 litres and 80 breeding ewes which are there for the summer only at 4 litres each per day for 180 days gives a 57,600 litres, a total deduction of 281,166 litres. This leaves a usage for the period of 728,834 litres, a daily use on average of 4,049 litres per day.

There are 10 toilets, using say 10 litres 20 times per day giving 2,000 litres. There are 4 showers giving again at 20 uses and say 10 litres a further 800 litres. The toilet/shower block therefore uses some 2,800 litres per day. The chemical waste holding tank of 6,000 litres is emptied 4 times during the six month period, therefore, holding some 24,000 litres or 133 litres per day. The remaining 983 litres may be accounted by caravanners and campers taking fresh water which is then disposed of elsewhere.

/continued........ Secondly, all the cess pool waste is disposed of off site and there is no disposal made within the Lathkill catchment area. A local farmer has taken this away in the past as also have Derbyshire Dales District Council and it is proposed to use the latter for disposal in the future.

We trust this gives adequate information for an observation to be made.

Yours sincerely

John B Blackhurst
